Thanks for making this video, I really enjoy watching you and sharing your insight with people who just don't know what you have been through until they been there or a loved one is incarcerated.
America is so messed up
They give up rights when they break laws. They don't have to have these jobs, they can sit there and think of the victims they created, or families they destroyed if they prefer.
And when was the last time a punishment based justice system outperformed a rehabilitative one? I'll wait
@@jensanruby6739 There are no rehabilitative justice systems, only punishment based. Also that's not the argument here, they are trying to advocate for minimum wage or more based on the $9 billion dollar estimate of inmate labor they arbitrarily try to state as a fact not an opinion. Passing inmates inside of prisons that kind of money teaches them nothing and could actually incentives crime rather than deter it which is a ridiculous notion.
@@Jeremy-uz2cn Alright then, releasing people without money or a safety net gives a much higher chance of recidivism than if they didn't. If you want prisoners to be released only to commit more crimes and have another expensive prison stay than sure dont pay them the minimum wage. Releasing them without money also means that someone more likely to commit a crime could easily be your neighbour as opposed to if you released them with a safety net.
If you like your freedoms, then don't do things that will put you locked up.
I value my rights more than my freedom and this a cowardly position. How can you think this when innocent people go to jail everyday?
